Debut author Stacy Desormeaux announces the release of Cedars in Crowley. This heartfelt short story follows a young girl coming of age in a big, faith filled family, where the smallest everyday moments carry the deepest truths.
Cedars in Crowley is told through the eyes of Angela Marie, growing up in a close knit household rooted in prayer, tradition, and love. Between Sunday suppers, backyard cedar orchards, and quiet walks with her younger brother, Angela Marie slowly learns what her parents have known all along, that true strength is often gentle, and that the ordinary moments of family life are the ones worth holding onto.

"I wanted to write about the kind of love that does not announce itself," Desormeaux shares. "The love that shows up in a kitchen, in a garden, in the patience of raising a family. That is where I find God most clearly."

At the heart of the story is Angela Marie's bond with her brother Carly, whose gentle spirit teaches her more about faith and acceptance than any lesson she could learn in a classroom. Through his eyes, and through the steady example of her parents, Angela Marie comes to understand that holiness often grows in ordinary places, among cedar trees, kitchen tables, and the long patience of everyday life.

"This story is for anyone who has ever found grace in a simple life," Desormeaux writes. "We do not have to look far for God. He is right there at the dinner table."

Cedars in Crowley is more than a coming of age story. It is a tribute to the quiet strength of family and the enduring hope that grows from faith. Desormeaux hopes the book reaches young adult readers and families alike, offering a gentle reminder that love, patience, and belief in God can carry us through even the hardest seasons of life.

Early readers describe the book as a tender portrait of family and faith, a warm reminder of the beauty found in ordinary days, and a story that lingers long after the last page.

Cedars in Crowley is Desormeaux's first published short story and is now available on Amazon.
